Description
Dynamic accuracy
is a
measure of
how
well
a
receiv
er
measures
the
magnitude
and
phase
comp
onen
ts
of
a
signal
as
that
signal
v
aries
in
amplitude
o
v
er
asp
ecied dynamic
range.
T
o
measure
the
dynamic
accuracy
,
this
test
applies
a
xed lev
el signal
of
0
20 dBm
to
the
4395A
R
input (reference
input). A
tthe
same time,
it
applies
a
signal
that
v
aries
from
0
10
dBm
(full
scale
input
lev
el)
to
0
110
dBm
to
one
of
the
4395A
's
A
or
B inputs
(test input).
It
then
measures
the
magnitude
ratio
from
0
10
dB
to
0
100 dB
and the
phase of
the
signals.
The
signal
amplitude
at
the
test
input
is
v
aried
by
inserting kno
wn atten
uation
v
alues.
The
measured
magnitude ratio
values
are then
compared
to
the
inserted
atten
uation's
calibrated
v
alues.
The
phase
dynamic
accuracy
is
measured
at
3
MHz
(where
the
phase
error
con
tribution
b
y
the
individual
atten
uator
segmen
ts
is
small
when
compared
to
the
test
limits).
In
this
test,
a
step
attenuator
with its
VSWR
1.02
and
t
w
o
6
dB
xed
atten
uators
with
a
VSWR
1.015
are
used.
Using
these
atten
uators
reduces
the
measurement
uncertainties
caused b
y
mismatc
h
error.
When
they
are
used,
the
measuremen
t
uncertain
ties
listed
in
the
p
erformance
test
record are
valid.
